The Significance of the Transfiguration of Jesus Christ: A Glorious Supernatural Transformation of Jesus Christ on the Mount as Recorded in the Gospels

By John Calhoun DD

It is puzzling that hardly anyone knows about the kingly transfiguration of Jesus appearing in his divine glory, which was truly a revelation along with Moses, the lawgiver and Elijah, the prophet. The event includes all the essential parts of the future kingdom to be set up by Jesus. This is surely the complete fulfillment of Old Testament prophecy. What a joyous event this was!

Introduction

Why was this book written?

It’s very interesting as an outward sign because hardly anyone knows what the Transfiguration of Jesus was all about. They don’t even know where to find it in the Bible or why it’s so significant.

Suppose you form a mental image of seeing your leader being transformed with bright lights (from heaven) with persons coming alive from the ancient world. Imagine!

The miracle in this book will give you the prominent and significant truths, which prove Christianity is actually real and the only true religion while others are mere man-made philosophies.

You will comprehend Christ was the only true Son of God. He was powerful (still is) and was aware of his future.

This occurrence is recorded by eye-witnesses who were there and experienced this wonderful and amazing and miraculous event situated face to face in the presence of Christ.

What a wondrous divine miracle!
